[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 166754, member: 6078"] deer at maybe 100 yards. thats about all she'll shoot it at besides paper for practice. its not her 243. thats why she wanted a new gun... she doesnt mind a little recoil, she is just a little afraid of it till she shoots it. they let her shoot a heavy 1 1/2oz pheasant load at a pattern board in a light o/u that didnt fit her. that really hurt , and now she's afraid of any new gun. this 700 is much heavier than the 99 she is used to shooting, so i wouldnt think 2800fps with a 100gr would be very much recoil. as she learns to shoot it, then we can raise the powder, and maybe even go to a 120. i just wanna start as low and weak as possible to get her over the fear of it. the guy at the gun show screwed up and told her how big a gun it really was, and not to shoot heavy loads until she's ready. i wasnt gonna tell her it was a big gun.... i dont have one of those "lead-sleds" or thats what we'd use...
